We have recently been testing the backup of W2K3 machines with a new version of Symnatec AV software. (Ver10) The W2K3 machines blue screen with a stop error (0x0000008e), while the backup is in the System State. Obviously this was concerning to the W2K3 server team and the finger was pointed at TSM. However, NTBackup caused the same problem, so a search around the Symantec website found the following article.

I just thought that it might be of use to anybody else who comes across the same issue. Leigh
